Nice job on the side wall slick

First time I've seen a 4x4 on a 4x4.

I'm not sure if you know this but most likely the TPS sensor was good. All you had to do is replace the battery that's inside of it and save a whole bunch of money

I tested the battery and it was dead. I did look at replacing it, but it would have taken a couple of hours to do as these sensors were not designed for replacing the battery. A new sensor was $20, so it was an easy decision.

@@diydan30 every sensor I've come across is just a pop on pop off panel. Unless you got one of those ones that has the silicone I used to be able to change mine on my car in 5 minutes

@@ViperRecycling Cool, I'll check it out on the ones I removed.

[@diydan30]

Just checked. Completely enclosed is something that looks like silicone.

@@diydan30 the ones that I've been coming across are the black ones with the white cover. You can usually pop that cover off and replace the battery. You can replace the ones on the silicone but you would actually have to pry the silicone out take the battery out placed it all back in there and then fill it with silicone which is a little bit more of a hassle but it can be done . I smashed these on a daily basis to retrieve the batteries for silver recovery
